In a statement from the "Power, Not Panic" Emergency Action Committee, they say local “rapid response” hotlines confirmed that ICE arrested at least 11 people in deportation operations Sunday.

Five arrests in Merced County, two arrests each in Contra Costa and Sacramento counties, and one each in Monterey and Napa counties.

They say ICE may have conducted additional arrests as well.

Reports of ICE's presence in Bay Area communities came one day after Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf alerted Bay Area residents of possible ICE operations starting "as soon as within the next 24 hours."

Schaaf explained she was sharing the information publicly "not to panic residents but to protect them."
